The Gridiron Queensland 2017 season will kick off on Saturday for all competitions. The Gold Coast Stingrays will go into 2017 as the favourite after taking out the last 6 straight Sun Bowls and for the past two seasons winning the “Triple Crown” taking out all three competitions.

In the Colts competition, the Stingrays who have a strong Colts teams will be entering two teams know as “Stingrays Blue” and “Stingrays White”. The two teams will meet in week one so it will be interesting to see if splitting up the team will weaken them or will we see both teams in the final, only time will tell.

In the past two seasons, the Stingrays have controlled the women’s competition as well as the rest of GV, the big question will be can another team lift up and challenge the Gold Coast. The Logan City Jets seem to be the most likely to challenge the Stingrays but we may also see Ravens challenge for the title.
